Kansas jobs by discipline
Travel Therapy in Kansas
Kansas is one of our deeper Midwestern markets, with consistent SNF demand across the state and a strong concentration in Topeka. Inventory spans PT, OT, SLP, PTA, and COTA roles, with selective inpatient contracts in Hays, Salina, and Garden City paying premium Mountain-Plains rates.
Current pay snapshot
Median advertised weekly gross across open Kansas contracts, stipends included, pay data as of 2026-10-05: PT $2,340 (9 contracts), PTA $1,540 (6). OT, SLP and COTA each have fewer than the 5 open contracts a published median needs. Every listing on this page shows its own weekly pay. See travel PT pay in Kansas for the full breakdown.
License compact status
Kansas is an actively issuing PT Compact member — PTs and PTAs whose home state is a compact member can typically activate Kansas privilege in 2–4 weeks. Kansas has enacted both the OT Compact and the ASLP-IC, but neither is actively issuing privileges yet — OTs and SLPs currently need a full Kansas state license through the Kansas Board of Healing Arts (PT/OT) or the State Board of Examiners in Fitting and Dispensing of Hearing Instruments (SLP).
Physical therapists can check which states issue PT Compact privileges, and anyone new to travel therapy can start with the travel therapy guide.
Top markets right now
Active openings cluster heavily in Topeka, with additional contracts in Hays, Saint Francis, Council Grove, Garden City, Salina, Sedgwick, Chanute, Hutchinson, El Dorado, Wellington, Downs, Colby, Scott City, and Anthony. Wichita and the Kansas City metro typically anchor broader demand.
Tax and stipend considerations
Kansas has a graduated state income tax topping out at 5.7%. Housing costs are very low across the state, with Wichita and the Kansas City suburbs running moderate. Stipends that are non-taxable when the IRS tax-home rules are met stretch well throughout Kansas, and the western rural counties produce some of the strongest stipend-to-cost ratios in the country.
What makes this state distinctive
Kansas combines PT Compact membership, deep SNF inventory anchored in Topeka, and Western Kansas critical-access hospital contracts that pay genuinely competitive rates. The Kansas City metro straddles the KS/MO state line, which gives travelers strategic flexibility on tax-home and licensing decisions. Inventory is consistent year-round.
